when is the last time you used joker gum n made a scrapbook of the one you idolise?
the last time you sat on a see-saw?
the last time you dipped parle-g in water?
the last time you clapped your hands n laughed?
the last time you made paper-boats n aeroplanes with tissue papers in hotels?
the last time you had fun with water colours,sketch pens n crayons?
the last time you made a sand castle and enscribed your name on the sandS?
the last time you read tinkle?[ for suppandi]
the last time you mum to put morsals of food in yr mouth?
the last time you gurgled through a straw while drinkin?
the last time you counted cars from yr balcony?
the last time you caught raindrops on yr outstretched palm?
the last time you tuned in cartoon network n DIDNT switch the channel?
the last time you played with those colourful ping-pong balls?
the last time you bought a cheetos pack for the freebie inside?
the last time you licked the cadbury's lollypop?
the last time you held onto dad's arms while crossing the road?
in the inevitable process of ageing..these little somethings get buried somewhere..
and are unearthed only when you see a kid again and feel envious of his treasure-trove called "kid-hood":D
growing old sure is mandatory but growing up is your choice...
n growing up always isnt fun..
i am sure many of us miss childhood...
one way to get it back is keeping the kid in you alive...
today n everyday...:)

I'm following you now.
Chack out mine - GD Blogs!
OMG..i am back to my childhood days..that was very touching, tear rolling post for a person like me..
I miss my childhood more than anyone else i guess :)
Tum likhti ho to aise likhti ho ki bas...pucho mat...
Thanks for Reminding us that we have a child in us very alive to celebrate children's day :)
Tc..cya
ahhh dts awesome.
but fortunately or unfortunately enuf i still keep on doing many of d things:
pittar patter raindrops on my outstretched hand,
papr boat n planes in colg:P..,
today only i was watching chota bhim in CN(well, nowadays u get many options in dt field-pogo, nick etc):D,
countings cars..ahha...,
n d lollypop,i wanna hve one bt i feel shy...:D...
i reject to grow up. its actually soo much of fun being-kid. one of the saddest thing of being grown up is none presents a chocolate (except frnds and that too on birthdays...).:(...
very sweet piece...
kip writing.
tk cre.. :)
yeah....i refuse to grow up.
post is well-written and took me to a ride of those bachpan ke din.
aap likhte raho.
@ Divsi
Beautiful post indeed!
This post have stimulated few very innocent aspects and acts of my childhood...and I simply love this sweet feeling:)
Please come up with such nostalgic posts more often...
Keep the spark Alive..
I do a lot of children waali harkatein... ;) thanks to young cousin sisters! When we're together, aur koi nahi chahiye phir :D
But haan as you grow... you lose somewhere the child in you.... *sigh* not because you don't like to do these things anymore, but coz you think... what others would think about you... sad but true... :(
beautiful! there are certain moments u c, which could be enjoyed only when you switch over to your 'KID' mode:)
that made me feel like and kid :) i dont refuse to grow up, but i refuse to forget the memories :) and well a lot of questions there :) haha
Lovely! Made me nostalgic.
But you know I still do some of the things you've mentioned. :D
Such a cute post! You just took me to my childhood days for a few minutes, and girl, that pic you've put! Sweetest I've ever seen. :-)
Loved it!
:))
simply awesome. you sent me back into my childhood. those childhood memories are priceless. do you know, few days back i saw parle poppins in a nearby store and bought one for me, and then bought another to share with my friend.
I knowwwww man!!! I ahve been asking the same question for so long!!! :D
And I do most of the stuff on that list!!! YAYIE!!!!!!!
I clap my hands on a daily basis...when I'm excited, when I'm happy...lol.
Making paper boats, counting cars and stars, watching Pogo n CN, gurgling through straws much to the annoyance of others, and lollypop!!!! tto meri favuuuu hai!!!! :) :)
I think I'll take at least 10 more years to "grow up". :D
BEAUTIFUL post Divsi!!!! Kya kha ke likhti hai re tu? :P
And oieeee!!! the pic is supa awesome!!! I love the sabse aage wale kid ka xpression. ;)
Hugs
There really is no need to grow up you know :)
My Birthday
innocent one. Interestingly i did most of the things few days or months back. so felt nice reading it:-)
A post that came a day later, but still has left me with wistful memories of my childhood. I like the thought process that has gone through, specifically, in the questions that you have crafted. None of them are made up just like that, are they?
However, I would like to differ and defer on to others on your thought that growing up is not fun. It is definitely fun. E.g.: The joy when I completed my engineering and brought my mother to the convocation. The repeat when I did my post graduation and I came with "THE" two ladies of my life. The joy when I was employed in my dream company. Of course, it is fun. :-)
Don't mind me differing on your views. It is just my perspective, but I do not expect everyone to nod their heads in agreement with my views.
All in all, a wonderful post.
this was refreshing. :)
plz do drop by my blog too. i've started afresh from scratch. im looking forward to your feedback! thanks! :)
Kya baat hai Divsi..??
I had planned to write a similar post on Children's Day...though dint gt time to do so...Accha hua u did...
Ab mai kahan se taaref ke pul baandhu...
Starting with a Lovely Pitcha...
Then those lovely lines..I wunt have been able to write it so beautifully!!
Lovelyyy loveelllyyy postt...:)
Well my comments on your facebook status said it all! ;)
But frankly, this post would have brought a smile to every person who read it...chalo lets not grow up and give you company..:p
Riding a merry-go-round, eating dipped Parle G,making sand castles, going to school with my sister,being cuddled by my parents and sis ...
I miss it all so much.But I don't know if given the chance I would be able to do all of this again or not.
As I read this post of yours I wonder if I have come too far from being my child - like self.Guess will have to figure that out for myself.
As always you have come up with a beautifully expressed post.I really appreciate the way your writings reach out to the readers and instantly enable them to relate to it.
P.S. - However I am still an avid viewer of Tom and Jerry.
Is this the first time you had to think of past to be happy.? Life is just beginning dear.

"those were the best days of my
life..."
really suits your blog.
faded memories which were lost in the time are back!!!
“I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope...”
@ davesh:
:)) thnx! welcum to my blog:)
@ sophie: brilliant lines:] thankyou!!:)
